    (continued from previous page)
    for a few days, one night the "cock" was sleeping inside. The woman was sitting near the fire. The cock jumped down and began crowing, then he ran down to the fire and ran around the woman and would not let her stir for an hour. Next day she told the priest, and the priest said that if she went outside the cock that time she would be carried away by some evil spirit.
